The New York CommwciH A9o ytiser
remarks editorially The industry of
raising sea island cotton along the At.
lantic coast which began with favorable
prospects few years ago has turned out
TO be nearly, il not quite, a failure on
account of low prices The fibre of
this kind of cotton is much longer than
that Of the ordinary staple. In the
meantime the price OF the products
manufactured from it has remair ed stu
tfonary or has been raised, so that the
Joss falls wholly on the planters, and
there is danger OF the industry dying
out. Such an outcome would be Sc.
